Venice is art, a city unlike any other in the world for the beauty it offers: churches, palaces, monuments—everything that surrounds the lagoon and the Canal Grande expresses beauty and culture. A one-of-a-kind treasure visible to the naked eye while walking through the calli or discoverable in the many museums that the Venetian city offers its visitors.
Summer exhibitions that provide a varied calendar to satisfy all passions and portray all the facets of art, often located in buildings that alone are worth the price of admission. This is what the city of Venice offers from June to August (and beyond) to tourists and art lovers.
It is recommended to always check the official website or call ahead to verify opening days and hours before visiting an exhibition, especially on holidays.
